Édouard-Christophe Pynaert
Édouard-Christophe Pynaert (May 29, 1835 – October 28, 1900) was a Belgian botanist and horticulturalist born in Ghent. He was a specialist in the field of pomology.
He studied at a local gardening school, and from 1861 was a professor at the Ecole d'horticulture in Gentbrugge. He is said to have species of grass named after him,[1] although many of the plant species from Africa named pynaertii actually honour Léon Auguste Edouard Joseph Pynaert, his son.[2]
He was co-editor of several periodicals, including "Flore des Serres et des Jardins", "Revue de l'Horticulture Belge" and the "Bulletin d'Arboriculture".
